He was involved with the Regina Pats hockey team, first as a player, then on its executive for many years. In the 30s, he played junior football with the Regina Dales, before moving to the Regina Roughriders (1937-40, 45-46). He was the first head coach of the Saskatoon Hilltops Football Team. In addition to coaching them for three years in the 40s and 50s, he was a loyal supporter of the club in the years that followed. In the 70s he served on the executive of the Winnipeg Football Club (Blue Bombers). A long career at Eatons led to his position of divisional contract sales manager in Winnipeg. Lindsay and Jules pursued their passion of walking, running and hiking with great energy, beginning with the Manitoba Hiking Hearts in 1968, and continuing in the mountains of British Columbia. Kokanee Glacier Park and the Valhallas held a very special place in their hearts. By 1999 (age 83), they had logged 84,057 miles. By their request, no service will be held.
